Ranieri Claudio
We already told you yesterday, as it was imminent: Watford has decided to part ways with its coach Claudio Ranieri. This dismissal takes place only 4 months following his appointment to the Hornets. Arrived to replace Xisco Munoz in October, Ranieri will not have managed to convince club owner Gino Pozzo of his ability to maintain Watford. The club are currently penultimate in the Premier League, and have conceded 11 defeats in 14 games under Ranieri. Watford will no longer communicate on this subject until they have found their replacement.
Here is the press release formalizing the departure of the Italian, one more….:
“Watford Football Club confirms the departure of head coach Claudio Ranieri.
The Hornets Board recognizes Claudio as a man of great integrity and honour, who will always be respected here at Vicarage Road for his efforts to lead the team with dignity.
However, the board believe that with almost half of the Premier League campaign remaining, a change in head coaching position now will give the newly appointed ample time to work with a talented group, in order to achieve the immediate objective of remaining in the Premier League.
No further comment will be made by the club until the new appointment is confirmed in due course.”
